Open Stack

We're always happy to have more help!

I suggest playing around and contributing to the python-*clients, as they
are a great way to see how different projects are used. Aside from that,
strong code reviews are always appreciated (more so than patches
sometimes). FWIW, you could manage with a windows laptop, for a while I
just used virtualbox with a ubuntu dev environment to work on. Happy to
answer any question you may have, I'm usually on #openstack-keystone and
#openstack-dev (irc handle is stevemar)

Thanks,

Subject:	[openstack-dev] Newb looking to contribute



I'm an OpenStack newbie, but a seasoned programmer with decades of
experience in data communications (especially IP stack lower layers) and
embedded systems.  I'm fluent in Python, C, C++, and Java.

I'm looking for some pro-bono work to do, and am open to any suggestions,
advice, or pleas for help.  I'll need a bit of mentoring, mostly in terms
of mentioning terms to study up on.

I know about as much about OpenStack as I can learn from the Wikipedia
entry.  I started setting it up on Ubuntu on Cisco UCS for a project where
I worked, but no longer work there.  I don't have any resources other than
a Windows laptop and the Internet, but I could wrestle up an x86-based
Linux box if necessary (not a rack server, though -- low budget, I'd take
an old tower, install a new MOBO, and go from there.)

I'm willing to do tedious grunt work, as long as I'm learning something in
the process (at least, to begin with.)  For example, if there's a desire to
convert to Python 3, that'd be a great way to get involved, learn a lot,
and make a contribution, with minimal deep knowledge required about
OpenStack, and hopefully relatively minimal risk.

Thanks!
Jeff
